Long Ineligible Poems

I love to see the children and the youths going to school
In their uniforms looking so smart and cool
Shirts and blouses all tucked in
Pants, bags, socks and the shoes matching 
Hair combed and hair styled,...

watches deep sea fishermen
battle with their demons.
Testosterone depleted husband
of ineligible age
watches lions mating
in the Serengeti,

To protect and provide
for the world ahead
Expected towards greatness
at no fault of his own

A job for unrefined fellows
Out to grab a piece
to bring home
for wonder time
While the...
